Awwwwww. My heart is just glowing. It really hurts but this made me feel better. I pray to the heavens her new owner is just right for her - it definitely is an amazing shelter (drove 10 hours just for this one in specific) and I need to stop being so upset somehow. I'm glad I got to meet my...

So sorry if this is in the wrong thread area, I wasn't sure. I had to give up my cat on the 28th of July this year for a number of reasons and with the support of this site, I did (to an excellent, verified no-kill shelter). I was extremely devastated but I still knew it was the best decision...

Thank you so, so much. I read this on my email back then, but I was way too caught up in my heavy emotions to bring myself to be on this site for a while. Thank you for your kindness and compassion. Your message brought tears to my eyes from happiness, and I also believe that orange cat had come...

Thank you :) Today, I checked the organization's FB page and they had posted a picture of her. She looked sooo comfy, fluffy and happy. It made me so happy, I cried. I then called and asked how she is doing, and apparently she's quite popular and they expect her to be adopted soon. She doesn't...

Thank you so much. I love cats sooooo much, I think only people on this site would understand. Innocent little fur babies. I hope I can meet the one meant to be with me some day. I will forever be heartbroken about losing this one (I get emotional even when I see a fur strand of hers somewhere)...

Oh I feel you! I also do not want to reach out for at least two weeks, just to make sure my cat settles in nicely. It just sucks that it's 10 hours of driving for me to go visit her, but it's still the best place I could have found for her. Thanks for explaining that. I was extremely upset...

Thank you! This made me feel better. It’s the second morning without my cat and once again I’m waking up to an aching body with tears. This is just absolute heartbreak, though I know it was the right choice. I guess the hardest part which kills me is wondering if she’s thinking of me/her life...

So I am back home now from the long drive, it really took all day. As I had guessed, I just keep crying. I apologized so much to my cat and hugged her lots before leaving her. I feel so, so guilty. Like a cruel, terrible person. I hope this feeling will leave me soon :(

Thanks a bunch you guys. Definitely an agonizing decision, and the most impactful one I have ever made so far. I have packed up plenty of bags with all of her favourite toys, foods, blankets etc. and it reminds me of just how spoiled and loved she has always been with me. I did my very best, no...

Thank you so much. These past couple of days I have felt like throwing up from anxiety about this, and yesterday I cried. I cannot imagine life anymore without her, but I do know this decision is definitely for the best. Tomorrow is the day that it'll all happen. I am doing my best to not feel...

Thanks for sharing that idea with me! At the moment, I am completely overwhelmed and cannot even imagine if another cat got some behavioural changes/issues after moving to a new environment/my home. I will think about this for a long while and consider it in the future. I am also considering...

Thank you for sharing :) I am packing her belongings and am sad whenever I look at her, but I know it is for the best. I cannot even believe this is really happening, but hopefully everything goes well.

Update: mom has now also agreed about this. This is all a bit shocking for me and very hard. Pretty much a permanent loss that will hurt so much. Thank you for the support. I came to this forum at my breaking point and even after this decision, did not receive hate or any attacks. I hope the...

This teared me up, I really didn’t expect this. Thank you for your compassion. I was so scared of getting hated or something like that, but decided I still needed to hear opinions. Yes, I will let the organization know absolutely everything about her, especially since it will be so important...
